• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and ERP systems (SAP or similar).
• Ability to work independently with excellent organisational skills.

Role Location

This role is primarily remote, but regular travel is required—to customer and supplier sites as well as our UK workshops, mainly in Birmingham, Leeds, and Aberdeen. You’ll have full autonomy to manage your own diary and schedule
